Metallothionein expression in chloroplasts enhances mercury accumulation and phytoremediation capabilityWiley - Tập 9 Số 5 - Trang 609-617 - 2011

SummaryGenetic engineering to enhance mercury phytoremediation has been
accomplished by expression of the merAB genes that protects the cell by
converting Hg[II] into Hg[0] which volatilizes from the cell. A drawback of this
approach is that toxic Hg is released back into the environment. A better
phytoremediation strategy would be to accumulate mercury inside plants for
subsequent retrieval. We r... hiện toàn bộ
Production of polyhydroxybutyrate in switchgrass, a value‐added co‐product in an important lignocellulosic biomass cropWiley - Tập 6 Số 7 - Trang 663-678 - 2008

SummaryPolyhydroxyalkanoate bio‐based plastics made from renewable resources can
reduce petroleum consumption and decrease plastic waste disposal issues as they
are inherently biodegradable in soil, compost and marine environments. In this
paper, the successful engineering of the biomass crop switchgrass (Panicum
virgatum L.) for the synthesis of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is reported. Polymer

High‐efficient and precise base editing of C•G to T•A in the allotetraploid cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) genome using a modified CRISPR/Cas9 systemWiley - Tập 18 Số 1 - Trang 45-56 - 2020

SummaryThe base‐editing technique using CRISPR/nCas9 (Cas9 nickase) or dCas9
(deactivated Cas9) fused with cytidine deaminase is a powerful tool to create
point mutations. In this study, a novel G. hirsutum‐Base Editor 3 (GhBE3)
base‐editing system has been developed to create single‐base mutations in the
allotetraploid genome of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum). A cytidine deaminase
sequence (APOBEC) ... hiện toàn bộ
Expanding the base editing scope in rice by using Cas9 variantsWiley - Tập 17 Số 2 - Trang 499-504 - 2019

SummaryBase editing is a novel genome editing strategy that enables irreversible
base conversion at target loci without the need for double stranded break
induction or homology‐directed repair. Here, we developed new adenine and
cytosine base editors with engineered SpCas9 and SaCas9 variants that
substantially expand the targetable sites in the rice genome. These new base
editors can edit endogen... hiện toàn bộ
RNA‐guided transcriptional regulation in planta via synthetic dCas9‐based transcription factorsWiley - Tập 13 Số 4 - Trang 578-589 - 2015

SummaryTargeted genomic regulation is a powerful approach to accelerate trait
discovery and development in agricultural biotechnology. Bacteria and archaea
use clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs) and
CRISPR‐associated (Cas) regulatory systems for adaptive molecular immunity
against foreign nucleic acids introduced by invading phages and conjugative
plasmids. The typ... hiện toàn bộ
Simplified adenine base editors improve adenine base editing efficiency in riceWiley - Tập 18 Số 3 - Trang 770-778 - 2020
Kai Hua, Xiaoping Tao, Liang Wei-yi, Zhaoxia Zhang, Runyu Gou, Jian‐Kang Zhu
SummaryAdenine base editors (ABEs) have been exploited to introduce targeted
adenine (A) to guanine (G) base conversions in various plant genomes, including
rice, wheat and Arabidopsis. However, the ABEs reported thus far are all quite
inefficient at many target sites in rice, which hampers their applications in
plant genome engineering and crop breeding. Here, we show that unlike in the
mammalian... hiện toàn bộ
